Hey guys, I am trying to get some tint my car's windows.
I need a film that gives a good heat reduction and looks good on my car.

ANY suggestions please?
thanks.

Don't get ceramic, reduces your cell signal about 10%.

Just did 3M 25% all around. Car looks so much nicer with tint. Crystalline isn't near as dark but blocks most of the UV. About 2x expensive as the rest I think

I had 35% photosync installed about a month ago all around on my wagon. It blocks a majority of the heat (specs show about 75-80% solar energy rejection) and you can really feel a difference. Has a slight blue hue to the tint but it still looks great. While it isn't cheap, I'd still highly recommend it.

There's some pics of my EBII with 3m crystalline 40 here.

My advice is to first pick the best quality shop in your area, then choose from what they have to offer. There's only a small bit of difference amongst the best performing tints, not really enough to stress over.

I have not heard of ceramic reducing cell signals, although metallic films do have that rep.

See if this works

Being a former window tinter, I would never pay the premium personally for ceramic. Just get something like Suntek XP carbon and save your money for other more noticeable mods.

I got Johnson Renegade window tint with lifetime warranty on fading peeling everything for 200$. Save your money, no point in paying premium on ceramic.
